11th Annual Christmas Jazz - December 8, 2017

The 11th annual Christmas Jazz concert will take place at College Hill Coffee in Winfield on Friday. Dec 8. This long-running holiday staple brings together a number of the area's finest musicians, in a program of jazzy Christmas music. This year's concert will feature The Student Loans, the Scott Williams Quartet, and Kelley Reynolds & Josh Fleig.

The Student Loans are one of the most popular local music groups. Beginning as the Southwestern College Jazz Combo, the now-adult Loans have performed their Sinatra-ish vocal jazz around the region for  number of years.

The Scott Williams Quartet features Brad and Lane Turgeon. Scott and Brad attended the Berklee College of Music at the same time, but didn't meet until years later, when both were living in Winfield. Lane Turgeon is currently attending WSU, and is an in-demand bass player on the Wichita scene.

Kelley Reynolds & Josh Fleig will open the concert with some Christmas-y jazz guitar duets. Kelley studied jazz at Friends University, and Josh was a long-time professor at Cowley College in Arkansas City.

This is a well-attended event, and seats fill up fast. You'll want to arrive early to get a good spot. Closed circuit TV will be provided, to make sure everyone has a good view of the action. In addition to all the music, College Hill Coffee offers a wide selection of delicious food and beverages.

The concert begins at 7:00 PM. College Hill Coffee is located at 403 Soward St in Winfield.

Don't miss it!
